You can output to a text file and use diff to compare it to what you expect.

the command to use diff is 'diff inputFile outputFile'. You may direct your output to a file. Linux provides this utility in it OS kit. – Satish Chalasani Jul 15 '15 at 14:28

There are many Java libraries for this particular purpose. I would recommend diff-match-patch. Also see the answers to this SO question for more recommendations.
